Oh, Wow!! This is almost unbelievable. I sure hope the bill passes!! My parents live in Georgia so this would be great if I ever had to move back to Georgia. (They know I won't move there now because I won't give up my suggies.)

From my understanding of the article- he says those states have legalized- making sugar gliders legal in some way or another. MA may not be listed because they are still 100% NO Sugar Gliders. He even states that GA owners could have sugar gliders if they went through the $236 Wild Animal permit on a yearly process.

The bill passed will have requirements which are not bad at all but it doesn't shut down the mill breeders from traveling there to sell tant

The Artical States " All but four state - Hawaii, California, Pennsylvania and Georgia - Have legalized sugar gliders as pets in one way or another," They have the number of state that they are illegal in wrong...at least six state. Ma and AK, like stated in other posts

Here is a question for you guys--
I live in Alabama-Legal here-and plan to take my sugies on vacation with me to NC-also legal. On the way, I have to travel through Georgia and SC. Is there something I need to do so I can legally drive through GA, or should I find another route?

In Georgia, you have 24 hours to get in and out of the state with sugar gliders. So you'll be fine driving through. thumb

It's now legal to own gliders in GA....as long as they are bought from a USDA licensed breeder and the breeder gives you paperwork.

Well I waited a few months after they became legal here in Georgia. But I was so excited to finally hear that they were legal here.

SouthernBelle:

If you are going to be moving for hubby's job a lot, you may want to think long and hard about whether or not suggies are right for you. We have all seen many a post from someone who is very heartbroken as they have to rehome their suggies due to relocation.

Just a thought - I know it would be SUPER hard for me now that I have my kids if I had to rehome them...

Be aware that gliders are not legal on base (anywhere). So you will have to live off base in order to keep them, assuming you are living in a legal state. Otherwise, Georgia law for owning sugar gliders are that you have to have USDA paperwork on them, which means you have to get every glider you own from a USDA licensed breeder/broker.
